Want to homeschool? You can do it!

Most parents/grandparents are aware of what's happening in public schools. They don't like it and would like to take their kids out of that toxic environment but don't know how to do it.

I've advocated for homeschooling since the 1960s when similar programs were offered. What made me crazy was something called "Values Clarification," which was supposed to help kids shed parental values and form their own values. It's still being offered today under various names and programs. Can you say "diabolical"?

Back then, there was the useless "drug education" that only made things worse. The sex ed that I objected to was mild compared to what is going on now. Death education blew my mind. They took kids to funeral homes -- for what purpose I could never understand. But that was then -- it's many, many times worse now.

Today, parents rant and rage at school board meetings, and nothing gets better. If sex education as a subject is defeated, they sneak it in under "social-emotional learning" or another subject. The bottom line is that parents can't win—except if they enroll their child in private school. But how many parents can afford that? Unfortunately, some private/religious schools are using many of the same objectionable programs.

What parents can do: They can home-school, and many parents successfully do it. Today, good, reliable home school programs are available. Here are links that are very informative and helpful:
